YESTERDAYS GAME.
The philadelphia Club Wins An.
other Victory.

OthcE StCtOHys
Yesterdays game between the
Phi ladelphia and Los Angeles clubs,
attracted a crowd almost, if not quite,
as large as the one of the Sunday be-
fore, and the game throughout was
full OF interesting points. The Phillies
won the toss and went to the field.
Their half of the inning resulted in a
big co." while the Los Angeles boys
Jared better, scoring one. In the
second inning the visitors tied the
score, while the home boys made
nothing. The Thrill inning re-
suited in blank for Los An
yeles and two scores for Philadelphia,
The fourth inning showed n thing
for either side. The Los Angeles did
no better in their half OF the fifth
i'm ing, but the Phillies added one
TO their score. In the beginning of
tht, sixth inning Dooley sent hot
liner to Quinn, who made remarka-
bly, fine catch. Bentel came next
and made a good hit, clean over the
left field fence, which allowed him to
Jog around the diamond at a slow
pace, making the only four-bagger OF
the day. The Philadelphia bows inn
proved their half and made two runs.
In the seventh inning McCarty got his
base on balls, stole second and came
home on Whitehead's low fly to
center. VIII tehead got home on
Ebright's high fly to the right field
fence. The Philadelphia's did moth
ing in their half. In the eighth in
ming Bentel made another score for
Los Angeles, while Jack Fogarty,
Jas. Fogarty and Mulvey did the same
for Philadelphia. In the ninth
Whitehead made another score for
Los Angeles. The game resulted in a
score of 10 to 6 in favor of the visitors.

We found Il small vein Of coal. We

The sampe certainly indicates one
thing-that there is vein OF coal in
the foothills near the ) ~eetwater dam,
and we sh I'll anxiously await the re-
suit. of the prospect. Mr. Schuyler
further stated that the other day he

AIRED to present the matter in
D oper light, for Monrovia has advan-
tages to back her claims that are
equaled by no other place in this END
of the State.
The advantages of having the Home
built here are manifold. The Gov
eminent will expend 500, 600 per year
in its support, and the fine buildings
that will be erected and the improve
ments that will be made in the
grounds will constitute the home one
of the most attractive spos In the
valley. Then the influence that its
establishment will exert in drawing
the attention of people and the fame
it will give our city cannot be over
estimated. The matter OF a fe"
thousands of dollars cannot balance
these advantages, for the increase in
population and in value of realty Will
be a hundred-fold greater than the
amount of money required to secure
the Home.
If usual good luck OF Monrovla
prevails in this matter we will carry
off the prize. 1t may be gained by a
proper effort, and our faith is strength
ened by the knowledge that our lead
ing citizens will do their utmost in the
matter.-[ Monrovia Leader.

that the company wouli willingly
make, but if it is forced into it the
